Laptop fan constantly running on Pinguy OS 14.04

I'm on the 64 bit edition of Pinguy OS 14.04.3. One persistent problem I'm having is the fan constantly running.

I don't think it's a driver problem. I checked the Additional Drivers utility and I'm not running proprietary drivers. Nor are there proprietary drivers available.

If more information is needed, just ask me.

Does anyone know some other way I can contact him?

AI masters Go a decade before expected

Quote:Google has taken a brilliant and unexpected step toward building an AI with more humanlike intuition, developing a computer capable of beating even expert human players at the fiendishly complicated board game Go.

The objective of Go, a game invented in China more than 2,500 years ago, is fairly simple: players must alternately place black and white “stones” on a grid of 19 horizontal and 19 vertical lines with the aim of surrounding the opponent’s pieces, and avoiding having one’s own pieces surrounded. Mastering Go, however, requires endless practice, as well as a finely tuned knack of recognizing subtle patterns in the arrangement of the pieces spread across the board.

Dual boot system, Pinguy doesn't detect server but no problem with Windows

I've been using a dual boot desktop Pinguy/Windows 7 system with no problems for several months. I almost never use Windows. Today, I was unable to connect to the internet using the Pinguy operating system. Both Firefox and Chromium indicate that the server is not detected. There is no problem with the internet connection, my TV connects to Netflix just fine, the MagicJack phone works and I am making this post using Windows on the same computer. One of the last things that I did on Pinguy before the problem developed was to get updates, then I opened the software center and Wine spontaneously started updating. After it finished I logged off. After logging on today and discovering this problem I tried to open the Network connection and I get a message that says "The System Network Services are not compatible with this version."

How-To fix broken Software Index & Update Manager on Pinguy OS 12.04?

Would you please tell me in step-by-step format, how may I solve the following number(s) of issues? My Pinguy OS 12.04 has a broken Synaptic Package Manager and Update Manager which is virtually inactive because so many unavailable Software Sources & outdated depositories are listed within it? I don't know how or where to update the lists. Sad

Whenever I try the following... (issues)
1. Install software via Gdebi-gtk or Ubuntu Software Center
2. Update or refresh my synaptic package manager & related programs on Pinguy OS 12.04, I get the following error message:


Quote:Software Index broken
This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'.

Anyone tried this? Seems like a good Plex alternative. It isn't going to be a lot of good for me because I need an LG app for my TV. But for other people this could be useful.

Cannot detect internet connection on installation

Hello !

I recently decided to install PinguyOS as my linux OS on my desktop.
I used the live partition quite successfully and I liked it a lot!
However, when I began the installation process, the medium didnt recognized that i was connected to the internet and I didn't want to proceed installing the OS. Is this a common problem ? Should I try and fix it somehow, where I hope you guys can help me out, or should I just install it with no internet connection ?

Thanks in advance ! Biggrin

Chrome 32-bit on Linux discontinued - Fix for the repo

The Chrome Browser source list is probably giving you the error:

Code:
"Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/Release"

Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead."

This is due to the 32-Bit Chrome builds being discontinued.

If you are using Pinguy OS x64 enter this into the command line:

Code:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list

And place [arch=amd64] after deb but before http so the line looks like this:

Code:
deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

If you are running Pinguy OS 32-bit it is advised to uninstall Chrome if you have it installed and remove the google-chrome.list from the repo.

Code:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list

As the Chrome browser will no longer get security updates for the 32-bit version it is unwise to keep using if you are not running the 64-bit system.

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/videolan/stable-daily/ubuntu trusty main

I can't find any other reference to videolan in the sources.list file.

Hi,

I'm trying to create a 16.04 dist iso but ubiquity fails when installing.

I suspect this is because the cdrom source name is incorrect - see screenshot.

Has anybody any tips on how to-do this so that when booting the live ISO it auto-logins?
